 Time:

 Subscriptions:

 £20 per term payable on the first week of every new term (Jan, Easter, Sept.). Please send cheque (to 2nd Shirley Scout Group) or cash in named envelope. This money covers insurance and all expenses of weekly Troop nights. The only other money which may be required is for camp/days out which is kept to a minimum and is of course optional.

 Church Parade:

This takes place on the second Sunday of every month except August at 9 a.m. Mass. All boys are asked to make an effort to attend and there are refreshments in the Parish Hall afterwards.

Uniform:

This is available from Early Years, Stratford Road, Shirley or the Camping and Outdoor Centre, 62 New Street, Bimingham

Jade  Green Shirt.

Blue Scout activity trousers and belt or charcoal grey school trousers.

Black shoes & grey socks.

Badges, woggle are provided by the troop.

Neckerchief is available from the group.

Behaviour: 

Please impress on your son that a high standard of behaviour is required at all times, especially when undertaking adventurous activities. However never send him to Scouts against his will and do get in touch with a leader if there is a problem. Also please inform the leaders if your son cannot attend for any particular reason. It helps the leaders plan the activities.

Fund Raising:

We are fortunate to have an Executive committee which is a group of parents who undertake to arrange events e.g. Autumn Fayre, Jumble Sale. Please give them your full support, as without funds we cannot train new leaders, equip and maintain the hut & replace worn out camp equipment etc.

Leaders: 

The following leaders are currently helping with the troop though if you have any spare time to offer we would very much appreciate any extra help that you can provide. Especially if you have a hobby or profession, which would be interesting to the Scouts, please let the leaders know.

Dave Adams            Scout Leader               

Harold Hands          Assistant S. L.             

Andy Sullivan          Assistant S.L

We do ask parents to help occasionally. A rota is organised by a parent at the beginning of each term. It usually only means one Friday per term.
